The 721 is probably Duals finest turntable.
Despite the absence of "hifi-gloria" in its looks
and its cheaply made plastic housing its better
over all than most far more expensive decks
from the far east of its time.
Sure its not perfect nor high-end but it offers
more than 95% of what is possible to extract
from vinyl with a very good cartridge.
I used a 721 with a Dynavector DV-23R and
was very pleased for years. The Denon DP60L
i had afterwards had more eyecandy and
was more solidly built but not better sounding.

I bought my player around 1974?. About a Year ago the cartridge holder broke and I put the turntable away. I bought the holder and a needle and put my turntable back together again, and am ready to tranfer my records to cd. But my arm lifts up and then down. I can't get it to go to the record. Any ideas
